Baker Mayfield, Derrick Henry lead SI.com's 2015 All-America Team

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and Alabama running back Derrick Henry lead SI.com's 2015 All-America Team.

With the regular season in the books, Sports Illustrated's college football experts have made their selections and chosen the 2015 All-America Team.

It was a tight race at several positions, including quarterback where a single vote boosted Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield to the first team while Clemson's Deshaun Watson was relegated to the second team. Stanford's Christian McCaffrey couldn't even crack the second team at running back, but the Heisman finalist was a unanimous selection as the first team's all-purpose player. McCaffrey was one of just four unanimous to the first team, joining Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman, Stanford guard Joshua Garnett and Baylor offensive tackle Spencer Drango.
